Rick Rescorla, is the man you are talking about. RIP to him and all the others who perished. Never Forget!!

💗

Valerie Behrendt sheltering in place in a burning building is insane. And yet people get this info. If a person can get out.... they should.

Sort of relevant; many residents in Grenfell Tower Block in London were told to stay in place as a safety precaution. I believe this was another factor in why so many people were killed that day.

Shes beautiful

Yep, she’s a sweetheart! Love her. 👍🏼💕

megamillionfreak do you realize this woman is about 44 here? She’s middle aged, not an “old timer”; she just looks like one because she is a bit overweight, and doesn’t wear any makeup, and dresses in slightly oversized clothing. Lord..

Has Good She is old-timey in her expression and outlook, not age, you utterly hopeless dolt...

Has Good she’s def older than 44. She’s been working for 30 years and was in the 93 bombing.

Dave Griffiths I was 20 at the time, living at home in the Pittsburgh area and going to college. I was home and my dad called me from work from his cell phone (sometimes he never did unless it was an emergency because it was “peak time” and of course no one used their phones during peak time!). I thought he was broke down and needed me to call a tow truck or something. I answered the phone and he said “I just heard some terrible news. They said someone just bombed the pentagon.” I remember I had two main thoughts at that moment: 1.) That can’t be right. 2.) I had the biggest chill run through me, because I knew whatever the mis-information was, it was bad. I didn’t want to turn the TV on alone, so I went upstairs to tell my mom what he said and before I made it up the stairs the phone rang again, and my mom’s brother called to say we are under attack, turn your TV on. So we watched TV for a bit, then went out to the car to get the second cell phone so I could call my dad back (my mom was on the phone non stop with her siblings and her mom) and I missed the first tower falling. I came back and looked at the TV and I honestly wasn’t sure what I was looking at. They had just said something about evacuating the Sears Tower in Chicago so for a minute I thought I was looking at the Sears Tower on fire.

I was 35 at the time. A day I will never forget as long as I live. Was at work when it happened. Everyone at work couldn't take our eyes off the TV. I knew of the towers but had no idea about all the people working in them.

Speak up For our Future ( Pamela's V Log Channel Extention) I moved there a few years after it happened. Or because of a job, or any reason. I felt weirdly drawn to this place, and only in retrospect can I see why. I never gave New York much thought either way, previous to this event. I am from Seattle. And then, 5 years later I moved to D.C. weirdly.

Has Good I have lived in the DMV area my whole life and my Dad was in the DCFD for the first 30 years of my life! He works for the World Bank now! My brother worked in DC also at that time, in Md if you wanted to make a good living, like New Jersey to New York City, Maryland is to DC! Weirdly enough, a lot of my life changed because of those events too! Never Forget, I love that people are sharing their stories online like this! It needs to happen, the number 1 thing I heard that day was “Not here, this doesn’t happen here.” For our feature generation, they NEED to be aware that IT DID HAPPEN HERE! I know this pandemic is awful and inconvenient, but because people are trying to be UNDERSTANDING of everyone’s feelings, consider EVERYTHING, and maybe we can teach our future what it REALLY means to be EXCEPTING of EVERYONE and why it might hurt the feelings of those of us who had to go on and throughout our lives in America after that day!

How was it "unbelievable"

30 million of those backward ass swine should have been smoked for this.

@@touristguy87 really you have to ask that?

megamillionfreak youre an Awful person

@@adorabasilwinterpock6035 no hes not. Thousands of fellow innocent Americans were murdered that day in the name of "the religion of peace" I pray our boys in uniform reigned hell down on them folk.

Alison H I’m from Seattle, and I always thought characterizations of New Yorkers were an exaggeration, until I moved there. They are all this and more. I loved them.

Alison H I was born in Puerto Rico, but I’ve spent most of my life in Los Angeles. I came to live here in ‘75. Before coming to live here though, I spent about 3 weeks during of my summer vacation in 1973 in Brooklyn with my Mom and my sister. My sister was about 6 months pregnant. I spent the next summer vacation (1974) in the Bronx. I think I was there for close to 2 1/2 months. My nephew was about 7 months old then. My time in the Bronx was spent playing outside with what I now call “the United Nations’ kids.” They were from Italian, Polish, Russian and Japanese families. Not one of them spoke Spanish. I’d learned English while in P.R. but I only spoke it/heard it for about an hour while in class. It was sink or swim time if I wanted to communicate. When you’re little though, you don’t think twice. I saw many fire hydrants being opened to cool us off that summer. I ate delicious Kaiser rolls and attended a Block Party. It was the best time of my life! Fast forward to 1984. My 9 year old nephew came to spend the summer with me and my other sister in LA. I always LOVED to hear him speak with that NY accent. I had some friends who kept asking him to repeat stuff so they could hear the “accent.” He and I got tired of that real fast. Eventually, he just stopped speaking when my friends came over. Funny thing is, I’ve had a lot of people ask ME if I’m from New York. I always answer with “No, but I spent 2 summers there.” It wasn’t until I heard myself speaking on a video I recorded this past June that I understood why I’ve been asked that question. I have a very slight, but noticeable New York accent of my own! I must’ve picked it up while playing with those kids back in 1974! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh yeah, I saw the Twin Towers a few times while I was in a car going across one of those bridges in NY in the summer of ‘73 or ‘74.

@@bracita15 oh wow! Awesome story. Lucky you,I hope some day to finally visit NY. Thanks for sharing.

@@alison2649 Lived in Long Island NY for a year... Funny how the locals, say "Want a cup of Cuaww-fee?"

I lived in LA for awhile - when I’d get a phone “Cawel” from friends from NJ everyone knew it , as my accent would come out full force . I miss LA.

Esai Ramirez she truly is!!!💛

Vietnam Veteran to boot! RIP

She just mentioned the message to go back to their desks. I am so happy they didn't listen. Thank god. Morgan Stanley get out...

You were a part of history. This can not help with the traumatic experiences. But your experiences will end in History books someday...

Karen Kelley 10 years prior to 9/11, at 19 years of age I fought in the civil war and breakup of my native (former) Yugoslavia. Our existence is soaked in violence. Something is wrong.

@@megamillionfreak That's for sure!

Powerful

Anya Vlad so your ex was there prior and saw someone wiring something.... (there is wiring going on daily in building like that) and they asked him to step outside of what.... the office... the building? No, nothing you just mentioned was “strange” be we all know the absolute nonsensical mess you are attempting to insinuate.

Wtf? Are you drunk?

What you say about New Yorkers is true. ~NY'er

me too... :( appreciated his comments on the woman he carried out, someone's mom, wife, sister, etc. humanized the entire tragedy...

About 700 people in south tower were killed...most of them would have survived if they werent urged to return to their offices...

I read a book where someone (possibly from Cantor F.) told he had taken the day off to go surfing as it was a beautiful day that day.

Jeff Fuehr God sent a Angel w stop that building from falling strait forward @ or maybe God came down himself and held that building from falling until they got out! thank God!😆😃😂😉😄😄

Jeff Fuehr exactly what do you mean by “how did she do that.” I’m pretty certain they were not made to walk down during drills.

because, she said that she couldn't make it, because she was too tired, out of breath, etc so if that was true and I'm sure it was then how did she make it through all the fire drills? oh, never mind i just heard her say that she had foot surgery about a week prior to 9-11

2 weeks prior the attacks my ex was there ,cause they were going to transfer him to new York...he said they were wiring up the buildings ..asked them to go outside for about 20 minutes ..he said it was very strange..thank God he wasnt transferred..

Anya Vlad I’m pretty certain there was no one, “wiring up the building,” with explosives is I’m pretty certain you are insinuating. As for wiring in the buildings... there is continuous maintenance going on within large buildings daily.

It looks slow on the outside. From the inside it’s differey

Different

Some of this stuff is so hard to visualize. Another survivor said the steps began to wave like water.

Shame on you.

What is wrong with you. This is her story to tell. How do you know she is lying?????? Enlighten us please

Do you know this person? How do you know what she did? Trolls like you shouldn’t comment under sensitive subjects like this.

Were you there?? Please do tell.

I'm no scientist but when you think about how skyscrapers already move in the wind (albeit extremely slowly), it isn't impossible to think that the force of the plane hitting the building, especially at the angle it did, would have thrown the people around. It looks slow on tape but that might be due to the height of the building itself. Like I said, I can't be entirely sure about it.

This is too incoherent to make any sense of, are you drunk, sir?
